To mark Father's Day, the White House has compiled a gallery of photos featuring President Obama with his daughters, Sasha and Malia, over the years, and outlined how his commitment to fatherhood has played into presidential policy.

This commitment to his family has also translated into the President's policy agenda. For the past four years, President Obama has promoted legislation to encourage fathers to take on a more active role in their children's lives through an inter-agency effort: the Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative.

The Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative has prompted government agencies to enact programs to assist fathers in raising and supporting their families and has made a significant impact throughout the country.
